? UNDER THE LAMPLIGHT-

Victoria Grace Elliott’s Tasty: A History of Yummy Experts is all about our favorite foods.She’ll get to the bottom of how our delicious favorites came to be — who invented cheese, and what’s up with pickles? It’s all the questions you may or may not have thought about, but chances are you’ll learn something about the history that went into creating the food world as we know it.

A concoction of stories, recipes, and the whimsy: The book is developed as a graphic novel where food sprites are happy to give you a history lesson on the serendipity that led to our favorite foods. Each chapter is accompanied by a tasty recipe and illustrations that add to the story.

A book for parents and kids alike: Because it’s so fun, it’s a perfect book for adults and children to enjoy together, making it a great addition to the family bookshelf. It could be a fun activity to pick a chapter with your kid and read the history while making the food it’s discussing.

If sweet treats are more your thing, Elliott’s previous book, Yummy: A History of Desserts might be more your speed. As the name suggests, the concept is the same but focuses on sweets instead. But the same elements of history, with a hint more science, are present.

You can find the book onAmazon.
